Jesse L. Martin Returns In New Photos From The Flash

Entertaining as the current season of The Flash has thus far proven to be, there’s been something missing: Joe West. Played by Jesse L. Martin, this fine detective has shown himself to be an invaluable ally to the crew at STAR Labs, and lent countless heartwarming moments since the pilot episode aired. In other words, he’s every bit as good of a TV cop as he is a TV dad.

As it turns out, the photos promoting said episode don’t actually focus on the two titans putting up their dukes. Instead, Joe West factors heavily into the gallery found below. And as you can see, he’s making sure that he takes the time to catch up with his daughter, Iris.

Aside from that stuff, we’re treated to a few images of Team Flash meeting with ARGUS’ Lyla Michaels-Diggle. This, I imagine, may be the only remaining hint at the main event before it’s actually showtime. Given how much hype is going into this, fingers remain crossed for the visual effects crew to give the CGI whatever polish is needed.
